Wardrobe Basics from Chicos Taking you into the Holiday’s

November 21, 2025

Wardrobe Basics from Chicos Taking you into the Holiday's

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today’s post is a mix of Holiday pieces and basic wardrobe pieces from Chico’s.

Building a wardrobe that meets your basic needs and serves you on special occasions and during the holiday season is about choosing the right pieces, knowing what looks good on your body type, and understanding your style. I talk about this often and will share again how to build your wardrobe in a future post. Today, it’s about taking basic pieces and mixing them with holiday pieces that feel like true styles you could wear every day, depending on how you style them.

With my tips and tricks, I hope you’ll see how you can create festive looks with items you may already have in your closet, and mix them with a few new pieces you may want to add from Chico’s New collection.

Holiday Outfit Inspo in Jeans

We all have them and we all wear them… creating a Holiday Outfit with jeans…Chico’s great wardrobe builders make great Holiday pieces, too. I have started a new series, “Holiday in Jeans.” Make sure to stay tuned on Instagram and my Liketoknowit for Daily inspo, as I’ll do a complete wrap-up here on the blog when all the outfits are shared. 

 

Dark wash girlfriend straight leg jeans| Black no-iron button-up shirt |Red tweed ladies’ jacket, perfect for the holidays, the office, and dressed-up occasions, depending on how you style it. Black pointed-toe flats with gold studs| Multi-strand pearl and gold with black beads and charms statement necklace ( such a Chanel vibe)  Gold hoops with small rhinestone details |Gold metallic belt|

Jean Style Tip:

Tip: Dark-wash straight-leg jeans or dark-wash jeans with a slight flare are the best styles to wear for a dressier look. As well as black jeans. I will be styling several jean styles to showcase different outfit options.

Burgundy faux leather cropped trench coat|Sweater with mocha colored Jewels, so soft, and has a bell sleeve|Pink girlfriend slim straight-leg jeans, Chicos mocha rectangle drop earrings |Cecelia, New York gold-studded open-toe block heel sandal |

A Color Cobo that Works

Fun Color combo for the Holidays: Burgundy, pink, and cream. Festive, yet not traditional red or green for those ladies who want something a little different. Why it works and still looks festive, it’s on trend, a cropped faux leather trench coat in a rich shade of burgundy, paired with pink, is unexpected yet romantic. I mixed textures, added some bling, and wore a festive lip color. Think of all the ways you can mix and match these pieces in your everyday wardrobe for different looks year-round.

A Fringe Moment

Black Chevron Fringe Skirt: Holiday outfit inspo that can also work for work outfit inspo. All black is always classic and Chic… make it festive with bling accessories. Make this look work appropriate with the blazer.

Classic white button-up no-iron shirt|Grey cashmere medium-length sweater with pockets, butter-soft and lightweight | Love these beautiful statement earrings, too. Perfect for the whole Holiday season, on sale too | Beautiful feather clutch with gorgeous agate stone clasp | Grey Girlfriend Slim straight-leg jeans.| Silver cap, little booties by Cecelia, New York.

Thanksgiving outfit inspo 

Shades of Grey and Classic white, a perfect combo year-round. This color combo pairs well with silver and looks great with Red for a festive Holiday-season outfit. These great classic wardrobe pieces are ones you’ll find yourself wearing on repeat and pairing with different accent colors to create different looks

.

Tips for Taking Wardrobe Basics into the Holidays

The tricks to taking your wardrobe basics into the Holidays are your accessories.. Make a statement with your accessories. In this case, I used metallic gold with a few pearls to create a dressed-up feel. Metallics always make things festive.

-Choose fabrics that feel dressier, such as Tweeds, satins, silks, cashmere, and velvets, from on-trend seasonal colors

Choose Colors that are festive and feel holiday.

Reds, Greens, Jewel tones, Classic black, and this season, Chocolate brown, Burgundy wine, Soft Pinks, Smoky greys, and of course, Metallics.

Adding a few New pieces 

I love these on-trend pieces that Chico’s created for this Holiday season. Ruffle leather cape, fur & leather fringe skirt, Lace button-up top, Tweed ladies jackets, leather cropped trench, printed denim, and sparkly accessories.

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re already in the last week of October? Fall this year went by in warp speed. It’s no secret that it’s my favorite season, and it just goes by faster and faster every year. I really enjoy taking in all the moments, colors, tastes, scents, and activities of the season. With that said, I had fun creating this Fall tablescape at the beginning of the season. To me, this tablescapes in volkes everything beautiful about the fall season. 

The statement pieces of this fall tablescape are these gorgeous Handmade Velvet pumpkins, with real stems, created by Hot Skwash. They create beautiful Velvet fruits and vegetables to use all year long for your home decorating needs. 

I am hoping you will find inspiration for your Fall or Thanksgiving Tablescape from our dining room to yours. Ox, D’Arcy

How to shop

Did you know that when you click the Brown or BLUE HIGHLIGHTED words of a SHOP HERE button, that’s a link? That’s how I get “credit” for you shopping with me. I make a small commission that doesn’t add anything to your cost. It’s between the brand and the affiliate marketing companies I work through. So THANK YOU in advance for any time you make a purchase using my links. This is how I make a living and support my small business. You are a HUGE PART of me getting to do what I love, OX, D’Arcy

Beauty

I love getting a good deal on my beauty purchases, and Prime Day is just the time to do that. Elemis cleansing Balm is my go-to for washing the day off my face, following up with Colleen Rothschild’s Glycolic Acid Peel Pads, and CR’s illuminating tinted eye cream is a miracle to add a glow under your eyes. Speaking of eyes, Cosrx, Cooling hydrogel eye patches are a morning go-to for me, or if a pre-makeup helper, if I am heading to an event. Need A little help with your eyelashes? GrandeLash-MD lash-enhancing serum has been my go-to for strong, long lashes for over 15 years. It really works and helps keep my lashes strong for extensions as well.

Laneige, viral lip sleeping mask is all it’s hyped up to be, as I use it every night before bed, to wake up with hydrated, soft lips. Speaking of the mouth, let’s talk about how I keep my teeth so white with Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips.

Divi dry shampoo is a clean beauty product line that makes a minty fresh smelling dry shampoo, which I use almost daily as a texturizer and fresh hair. Want a great blowout at home? I use the T3 AireBrush One-Step Smoothing and Volumizing Hair Dryer Brush, Blow Dryer Brush for Fast Drying and Styling with Multiple Heat and Speed Settings, Ceramic Oval Brush, and Cool Shot on hair wash day. Makes for a great gift.

Great gift Idea for the Beauty Lover- LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Own Your Age Boxed Makeup Collection | Amazon Exclusive – Giftable Makeup Set with All-in-One Face Palette, Hydrating Lip Color Balm, and Retractable Travel Friendly Kabuki Brush. Another great gift idea, and one of my favorite go-to daily clean beauty scents. Dime Beauty Perfume Dans Les Bois, 1.7 oz / 50 ml – Feminine and Bold Scent, Hypoallergenic, Clean Perfume, Eau de Toilette For Women/ Another great gift idea from Touchland Power essence body & hair fragrance.

It’s no secret I love doing laundry, and I love specialty Laundry pods, liquids, and fabric Sheets, boosters, softeners, and I do use a good variety of different ones for different things. One of my favorites is a clean product called Laundry Sauce. They have several scented pods and fabric softener sheets, in several scents, but my favorite is French saffron. It’s a delightful scent I love for linens or my personal clothing. It also makes your home smell amazing. I love it’s a clean product without harmful chemicals.

Amazon is a great place to find fashion and accessories at a great price, with name brands and good quality for the price. This Calvin Klein Sonoma Bubble Lamb  Messenger Crossbody is a great everyday bag. This cozy Fall Pajama & Lounge Sweater Set is a Cute Fuzzy Fleece 2 Piece Long Sleeve Cozy Winter Pj Outfits, comes in several colors. Both make great gifts. These trending slippers would be a cute addition to this lounge set and also make a great gift Idea. Do you love cute Christmas PJs? These satin ones are so good $21.

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

September 2, 2025

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

 

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today I am chatting with you about A Place for Mom. One of the things about midlife we don’t talk about often is becoming caregivers for our parents, which can be hard to navigate. 

Many of you know we lost my stepdad in January. He was the only grandfather my boys knew on my side and had been with my mom for 22 years. They live in Las Vegas, with no family living close by. I live in Utah, and my siblings live in California. This meant our mom was alone, with no family or husband. We had to act quickly to help my mom relocate, deal with family affairs, her health issues, and the emotions of the loss. I found out about A Place for Mom a couple of months after, having to navigate this part of midlife that nobody talks about enough. I thought this info needed to be shared as it could help someone else dealing with this in the upcoming months. 

 

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom
Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Navigating Care

When my stepdad passed away, I suddenly found myself navigating care decisions for my mom, and I had nowhere to start. I now had to make fast decisions about what to do. I will not only take care of my dad’s last days and business affairs but also relocate my mom to Tuah to be closer to family. Although my mom can live and function on her own and she still has specific home needs as well as medical care. 

I wish I had known about A Place for Mom back then. They make the process so much easier by helping families find senior living or home care options that fit their needs. All at no cost to families. It’s an incredible service and resource for caregivers, especially during those overwhelming moments when every decision feels heavy. 

Living in different states

Even if family members live in different states, A Place for Mom’s advisors offer expert guidance to help families navigate the process from wherever they are. Which takes so much off your plate so you can concentrate on your loved one more. Learn more at aplaceformom.com.

About A Place for Mom

A Place for Mom has helped 2M+ families. They can help yours, too, with over 400+ local advisors who are trusted experts. They have 20+ years of experience helping families. In addition to their expert advisors, they also have so many resources for caregivers on their website to help navigate the process.

Visit aplaceformom.com to learn more.

Can  you believe this leopard fur coat is from @walmart ?

A great way to dress up your jeans for the holidays is add a little fur… and then take it to the next level, with pairing leopard with Red ❤️ and finish off with a little bling✨✨✨

Your ready for cocktails, a favorite Things party, Holiday girls night out, cookie exchange or a date night✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Not every social season, Holiday event, school function or party calls for cocktail attire… 

This series is for those that want to look festive but not go ALL out❤️

You mamas out there work really hard to create the magic of Christmas for your families and know even thought you sometimes don’t think they care or that it matters…. 
Let me tell you as a mama to grown boys♥️ It matters, building memories matters and they remember  the small things. 

TRUST me they notice, they may not say anything, until you don’t do it or did it differently ♥️♥️♥️😉

(Please note this is just mom humor)

Happy Sunday Pretty ladies! 🍁🙏🏻🍂 Gratitude is an i Happy Sunday Pretty ladies!
🍁🙏🏻🍂
Gratitude is an important aspect of a happy and fulfilling life, We often reflect on gratitude in the month of  November and the Bible has many verses that emphasize the importance of being thankful. 🙏🏻

Here are a few of my Favorite Bible verses about gratitude:⬇️

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” (Psalm 100:4)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15)

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17)

These verses remind us to be grateful for everything we have, even in difficult times. By expressing gratitude, we can find joy and peace in our lives and strengthen our relationship with God.
